This has been going on for more then a year, several in fact. Most of these calls are coming from India and Pakistan. Not much can be done since those are out of our jurisdiction.
Report the Calls to the real IRS here:
•report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.
•You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
Got a call from this number today, said his name was Jerry William and to call immediately or the IRS would probably throw me in jail. Believe it is a scam.
Call came in as what looked like an 800#. Same as the others middle eastern accent Jerry? William and something about an tax order from the IRS and to avoid federal court or being arrested to call 571-526-0009. Google and people who report these things are very helpful.
